Hi

I have a problem. ..

I don't find the plugins for autocomplete ... i search into plugins available, but i don't find....

What plugins to use????

Thanks

PD: I don't speak english, sorry :$

I've been trying out jEdit 4.3pre5, and I'm really glad to see it progressing. Everyone is doing a great job.

I think there are a couple things that could make it easier for new jEdit users. Here are some ideas for jEdit default settings on a clean install.

1) Before downloading plugins, allow the user to choose a download mirror. "Plugin central defualt" gives error messages.

2) Use the system defaults whenever possible (Use the System L&F instead of the Cross Platform L&F, and on Java 6, use the platform's setting for font anti-aliasing.)

3) Show plugin dockables after installing a new plugin. (Only one dockable each - i.e., don't show two Structure Browsers for both xml and html.) This gives the user feedback as to what they just installed, and it is easier to hide a visible plugin rather than show a hidden one.

Hi All,

It would be nice if the "Search And Replace" window was part of the HyperSeach Results panel. I currently dock the HyperSearch Window on the bottom and then move the "Search And Replace" window so it doesn't obstruct the text view.

I have often thought it would be nice if the "Search And Replace" window was on the left
side of the "HyperSearch" window.

I know about the XSearch plugin and have read it can be docked but I would really like the standard "Search And Replace" window to share the bottom window space with the "HyperSearch" window.

Can this be added as a new feature?

Thanks,
Dan Fabrizio

Hi All !

Right-clicking with the mouse into the buffer unexpectedly - so far for me - also moves the caret/the current line to this position. I personally think, right-clicking the mouse should only open the context menu, nothing else.

For example, if your caret is at the end of the buffer and you scoll up to see some text to decide what do next and then open the context menu [that mentioned right click!] to insert some text etc., this would unexpectedly happen at that clicked textline, not - as I was expecting - at the end of the buffer.

What are the usual expectations here and by other users? My macros do not work very well in this scenario. It looks more as unripe behavior than planned, or I am wrong here?

Note:If there is text selected, it works well and the cursor/caret/current line stays exactly were the selection is.

Thanks a lot,
Manfred

Hi All, I am new to JEdit and after discovering XInsert, it becomes my most importent module!!!

With other libraries, I was not that successful [like "Clipper" and "Templates"]. Although, IMO, some enhancements would be very welcome.

First, I try to manage my VBScript library with it, but my most scripts are based on the xml-format [usual extension is ".wsf"]. Inside this scripts/snippets, I have always to include CDATA sections to surround the code-blocks, but this is not possible in XInsert using "xinsert_script" item-types:

<item name="Feature.Request" type="xinsert_script"><![CDATA[ ?XML version="1.0"?> <package> <job> <![CDATA[ -- This is the "inner" CDATA section required for VBScript 'My script body here Option Explicit Dim someObject ]]> -- end "inner" CDATA </job> </package> ]]> !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The whole library is no longer usable after this, not only the current file! All libraries below the current module are no longer displayed. I am not sure, if this is a bug, I'll just request for respecting CDATA in CDATA sections, which works well in my other xml's.

My workaround was to use "CDATA.BEGIN" and "CDATA.END" inside my snippets and replace them by macros. Even this is not easy:

String search = "CDATA.BEGIN";
String repl = "<![CDATA["; The last line is not possible at all and I have to recode it like:
cdataBeginReplace.append((char) 0x3C).append("!").append("[").append("CDATA").append("]");
.....

It might be, this is simply JEdit's xml interpretion itself?

Additionally, a "global reference" to the current XInsert file would be very useful;All my modules contain currently a "Edit this lib" entry-macro, which has to be hardcoded.

Further, another tag like "macro" would be a good idea, just to put library common code into the module. Currently, I put all this things in my startup as global code.

This should not be considered as a complaint , just a wish for some useful enhancements!

Thanks a lot!
Manfred

Note:This was not easy to write!!! Luckily, I discovered, that one may use the "xmp" tag inside the post [just to help others with this note]

I'v been using EditPad Pro for a while now on Windows and love it's ability to write to a file that has been locked by another program.

For example, I can view a log file from my application server (as I can in JEdit now) but I can also clear the file's contents, save and overwrite the log file so that I can have logs that just show the content that I want to see.

Is there anyway to incorporate this into JEdit. It's the killer feature of EditPad (even the Classic version) and is the only thing stopping me from switching to JEdit. (Other than the "Stay on Top" feature which I can replicate with DesktopPins.

Cheers, Chris.

Is there a C debugger in jedit? if not I would like to see one.

Hi,

I'd like to know if it is possible to have one color set per syntax mode, instead of one color set for each syntax mode.

Since such thing exists for buffer options, I don't see why it's not in jEdit.

Like in dreamweaver 8, can we have (or is it already possible) a shortcut key / button which will open up the directory in which the file that you are currently editing resides in the platforms file explorer, e.g. nautilus, windows explorer etc and can the file explorer be configurable.

thats it.
just clicking line numbers to select the line.

I have been using jEdit for years now, and the single most serious and enduring frustration I have had with it is line spacing. I find it very difficult to read text or code in any font other than Courier New. Could the development team please consider adding an option for controlling the amount of space between text lines?

Hi all, here are some issues I would like jEdit to consider:

-jEdit should remember if the "Line Numbers" panel (the panel to the left which shows the lines number) was showing last time it was running. The Line Numbers panel disappears each time jEdit is restarted or it's highlighting options have been changed.
-By double clicking the title bar of some (windowsXP) window it gets smaller, jEdit does so unless it has been:
1. previously minimized to a smaller window during the same session
2. resized to maximized state.
After closing jEdit it forgets this setting, this way after opening jEdit one has to reproduce to two steps above to make jEdit have a similar behaviour of an *usual* windows(XP) window.

This is it. If I could I would do it myself. Hope somebody to implement these features in a new version of jEdit

Mode specific context menu. Is it cool?

Hi, I use XInsert in html pages. Is it possible that after double clicking on an "insert" the cursor be automatically positioned between the begining and ending tag? This would allow me to be even more efficient by avoiding an extra click. For example when inserting a P tag it writes

and I would like to have the cursor ready to write inner text. Thank you for your reply. Julien

Hi,

Feature-Request 1: Directory-Tabs in System Browser

i work on many projects in many directories at the same task. If i use the bookmark-function and the Path-History, i can get quick-access to the latest directories, im working in. Ok, thats the status!
I work for a long time with homesite. There are Tabs ([Files1][Files2]) to switch between two project-folder with one click. Please also add this feature to the File System Browser in jEdit.

Feature-Request 1: HTML-Preview

in Homesite, there is a Tab in all Edit-Windows, to show the code in the default Webbrowser.
Is there a option to do that in jEdit?

Andreas

When using the Project Viewer, with the file I edit using jEdit, I've got a lot of temp' file (example : foo.php~) which I'd like to cut off the project tree.

The problem is that the glob pattern does not accept to do something like this :

!*~

This will restrain file finishing by ~ as well as other file...

I think it could be better to have a set of regexp : we would have a JTable, with a list of regexp (in order of priority) so that when we reimport file using filter, it use regexp to match (or not) the file name.

I don't know about Excel 2007, but the current and previous versions do not have an efficient text editor for entering complex formulae into spreadsheet cells.

You can use alt-enter for line breaks and spaces to indent, and Excel color codes cell references and parentheses, but each line break and space counts against the maximum formula length limit of 1024 characters.

Entering nested conditional formulae quickly becomes confusing, and editing someone else's work can be very difficult. A code editor that recognizes Excel formula syntax, handles indenting of nested functions, color codes things better than Excel's formula bar, and allows comments would be very handy, especially to keep formulae concise. It should count characters (but not line breaks and indents) and enable single-click to copy all to Excel sans breaks and indents and comments. One could save the formula code with comments to a text file for later use.

I've heard Excel 2007 eliminates the formula length limit and nested function level limit. Unless Microsoft is already building a text editor into Excel for formula entry, a jEdit plugin for this will become a very popular tool I think.

It comes (4.3p3) like this: but that misses php command line scripts that start with a #!/usr/bin/php or the like. I would like to suggest/request the modification below: Catches files with right suffix, starting with
